Question: I create children’s stories and illustrations, and sometimes I find it easier to express an idea or metaphor with an animal or a toy that is imbued with human consciousness. I do, however, see why this can be problematic and how it has been perverted to confuse people. My question is, do we try to create a new form, even if it is more challenging, or can we use the current form, even if it is not the highest form, to bring in new ideas? The Collective already accepts images of animals and objects with human consciousness, and there are many beautiful stories with this form. But I do not want to add to the problem. Is it better to do the work and pave a new road to bring in a higher form, or does it matter at this point, since it is so widely accepted? Which is more important, the form or the wisdom behind the form?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 New Year Webinar.
It is not wrong in a disastrous way to use animal forms to tell a story. As you say, it is commonly accepted, and it is also accepted and understood by many people, that animals are not humans in animal bodies.
However, as we move further into the golden age, this form of storytelling will be replaced by higher forms, and you could be one of the people who is able to tune into us and receive inspiration for these higher forms.
Make some effort, or rather, make a non-effort to become neutral, tune into us, use the teachings and tools we have given, and receive some higher form. It does not mean you have to stop using the animal form, but at least consider and tune into us and see what you receive.
